GRADE 8...POWER STANDARDS AND LEARNING TARGETS
Power Standard 1...
Functions: Define, evaluate, and compare functions (8.F.A.3): Interpret the equation y=mx+b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear.
Supporting Learning Targets:
- Represent data patterns using graphs, tables, and word descriptions
- Analyze data to make predictions
Power Standard 2...
Functions: Define, evaluate, and compare functions (8.F.A.2): Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
Supporting Learning Targets:
- Create a table, graph an equation that represents an exponential relationship
- Write and use an exponential function to answer questions
- Write and use an exponential function with growth rates to answer questions
- Write and use an exponential decay function with decay rates to answer questions
Power Standard 3...
Geometry: Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software (8.G.A.2): Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rationas, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
Supporting Learning Targets:
- Identify each transformation
- Name parts of congruent figures
Power Standard 4...
Expressions and Equations: Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations (8.EE.C.7): Solve linear equations in one variable.
Supporting Learning Targets:
- Simplify expressions
- Solve linear equations
